This is a real, all steel 1940 Ford. Frame off restored to factory
condition. It's a beautiful truck with great colors and 5 white
walls. It functions really well too, upgraded 12 volt system.
EXTERIOR: It's a sharp looking truck that presents itself like a
show truck. It's all metal including the fenders and running
boards. It is clean and straight, fits nice. Minor damage on
driver's rear fender. Beautiful metallic burgundy body with black
fenders. It is smooth and very glossy. Only minor imperfections if
you go looking for them. The glass was replaced with safety glass.
New rubber gaskets and window seals. The chrome all looks new:
headlight bezels, chrome trim on the hood, door handles and bumper.
It has an optional Ford locking gas cap. It's sitting on
reproduction BF Goodrich Silvertown white wall tires. The rims are
restored, new V8 center caps and optional trim rings. It also has
the optional fifth side mount spare with matching tire.
INTERIOR: I'm sitting inside the truck right now, it's actually
pretty comfortable. It looks great too. The inside metal is all
painted gloss black. The gauges look like new reproduction. It has
a new volt gauge under the dash because it's now 12 volt. The
knobs, window cranks, handles and steering wheel look like new.
Correct rubber mat on the floor. The seat is rebuilt and
upholstered. Visors look new. The fiber board headliner is
warped.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: smooth running flathead V8 looks like it was
all apart not that long ago. It has an optional oil filter and an
Empco engine oiler. It is also upgraded to a 12 volt for quicker
cranking and easier starting. The carb was rebuilt. The distributor
looks new, the alternator is disguised as a generator, spark plug
wires are correct. It even has a reproduction Ford script belt,
reproduction hoses and clamps. Every component looks restored, it
painted and detailed up real nice.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the box is straight and painted body
color. It has refinished floorboards and matching wood stake
sides.
UNDERSIDE: It looks like it's had a body off frame, nut and bolt
restoration. Literally just about every nut and bolt looks like
it's new. All the components were apart and rebuilt: steering,
suspension, brakes, shocks etc. It has a correct single exhaust
system. The fuel tank and fuel lines have been replaced. Brake
lines were replaced. Looking up at the motor it's exceptionally
clean, the starter is clean. The 3-speed transmission is also very
clean. All the metal, the chassis and floors, are clean and sprayed
semi gloss black.
SERVICE: We inspected the truck and replaced the distributor,
condenser, clutch, axle seal and cut the flywheel.
This is a beautiful 1940 truck ground up restored to factory "
improved" condition. It's detailed down to the Ford belt but has a
few upgrades like 12 volt electric, metallic paint and
whitewalls.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
